Abstract

This report examines the financial risks that the COVID-19 pandemic poses from a legal perspective to the mass transportation systems in 11 low-income countries in Africa. It examines how those risks may be mitigated, by adopting a proactive approach to a refinement of the legal and regulatory regime in respect of the mass transportation systems so as to mitigate potential future financial losses. The report provides a case study of Ghana to provide a specific guide on how the risks may be mitigated in that country taking into account its regulatory regime and transport infrastructure.
